"The bustling Ecliptic Brewing, set in a well-renovated garage space in the city's Mississippi district, had cachet before it even opened its doors: Owner John Harris is an icon in the Oregon beer industry, having helped found some of the most influential breweries before taking on a 20-some-year stint as head brewer at Full Sail. After decades in the industry, he finally has his own brewery—and he's using it to make pitch-perfect Northwestern beers, including fun fruit ales, and bright, vivid IPAs. The brewery distinguishes itself from other spots in town by offering a respectable cocktail menu, too (but you really should be drinking the beers)." - Alexander Frane
